  GRADING: GOLDMINE STANDARD 

NEAR MINT (NM OR M-)
A good description of a NM record is “it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time.” In other words, it’s nearly perfect. NM covers are free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.

 VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
or EXCELLENT (E)
A good description of a VG+ record is “except for a couple minor things, this would be Near Mint”. VG+ records may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. VG+ covers should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking.

Very Good (VG)
VG records have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise.

VG covers will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides, though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or it or stamped a price tag on it, too.

Good (G),
Good Plus (G+)
or Very Good Minus (VG–)
Good does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, so it can serve as filler until something better comes along. But it has significant surface noise and groove wear, and the label is worn, with significant ring wear, heavy writing, or obvious damage caused by someone trying to remove tape or stickers and failing miserably. A Good to VG– cover has ring wear to the point of distraction, has seam splits obvious on sight and may have even heavier writing, such as, for example, huge radio station letters written across the front to deter theft.

Anything below this grade would be “Poor” or” Wrecked” or “FUBAR”! I won’t sell any record like this unless it is a Beatle acetate or if someone asked for a particular record in any condition.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING: $3.25 within the U.S. for Media Mail (1 – 3 Records per order/package)  I am meticulous about packing records for shipment and use corrugated record mailers (200 lb. tested) with flats. I separate the record from the cover to avoid seam splits and place each sleeved record and each cover separately into a new 3 mil poly sleeve . Then it all goes in-between the two flats inside the record carrier box , taped shut, and shipped out to buyer within 24 hours. 

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: Always welcome. I will email you the Shipping and Handling Invoice . All bidders are welcome but some countries have a higher or lower rate for First Class & Priority Shipping.   Please check with me before paying Shipping Charges as it may be less (or more).

ALL ITEMS  4 LBS. AND OVER MUST BE SENT VIA INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY MAIL.  ( Cost depending on USPS rate to that country and/or weight of package w/multiple items)

ALL ORDERS COSTING $50.00 OR OVER MUST BE INSURED SO MUST BE SENT VIA USPS PRIORITY MAIL INTERNATIONAL.

PLEASE DO NOT PAY BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THE INVOICE, THANKS!
